Cloud often uses this attack as a boss, where he performs a simple triple slash combo (a downward slash, followed by a right-handed outward slash to an upward lifting slash to his left). Any part of the combo can be deflected with [[Guard]] to have Cloud rear back a bit, allowing Sora to get a free combo in.

Cross Slash, written as "Cross-slash" in Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories, is a recurring technique associated with Cloud. It allows the user to assault the enemy with three powerful sword strikes which trace out the kanji 凶 (Kyō, lit. "Misfortune").

Cross Slash EX, called Cross Slash+ in Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories, is a variation that allows the user to warp next to an enemy before continuing with Cross Slash.

Cross Slash EX+ and Chain Slash are two additional variations that appear in Kingdom Hearts Union χ.

Mechanics[edit]

In Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories, Cross-slash is a Summon Sleight. Using Cross-slash summons Cloud to the battlefield, whereupon he executes a three-hit combo. Although not named, Cross-slash is also the effect of the Cloud Summon card, although he only performs a two-hit combo.

Cross-slash+ is also a Summon Sleight. It summons Cloud to the battlefield, whereupon he warps next to an enemy before using Cross-slash.

In Kingdom Hearts Union χ, Cross Slash is a special attack that targets a single enemy. It costs 3 special attack gauges to perform.
